“Dad,” Blake called out for his father as he removed me from his lap.
“Blake,” I stood up from the couch, grabbing his arm.
“Baby, don’t fight me on this. Stay here and I will handle the council.”
“No.” I retorted.
“Son, what’s wrong?” Blair questioned as he rushed down the stairs with his mate.
“Luca just called. The council showed up at the pack. I need to get the boys and you need to come with me ” Blake explained.
“I’m coming with you.” I demanded, crossing my arms over my chest.
“No, you’re not. I’m not risking you or our child. You will stay here. with Evie and the boys until I call for you. Am I clear?” he commanded. and I huffed,
“This is our pack. Blake.” He sighed before pulling me against his. chest.
“I’ll go get the boys and inform Walter,” his father said as Blake rested his forehead against mine.
“I’ll check on Evie,” his mother said.
“I need you safe, baby,” he mumbled, caressing my lower belly. My belly wouldn’t pop for at least another eight weeks.

“And I need to be with you. We know nothing of why they are
showing up now and I won’t let them hurt you. Blake. I can heal you. Please, don’t make me sit here and wait,” my voice choked and tears fell down my cheeks.
He took hold of my cheeks, wiping the tears away with his thumbs. I had so much to lose but I wouldn’t let it go without a fight. The council. is after me and I won’t let it hurt my family.
“Baby girl?” I heard Walter say as everyone entered our cabin.

“Mom, what’s wrong?” Channing questioned.
“The council is at the pack. Luca called,” Blake informed them without taking his eyes off me.
“And I’m pregnant,” I whispered.
“What?” Aspen and Channing exclaimed in unison.
“Your mom is pregnant. She is also staying here, while I deal with the council.” Blake said.
“Blake?” I yelled.
“Mom, he’s right. You need to protect Evie and the baby,” Channing said.
“I need to protect my mate.” I retorted.
“Baby, Gunner and I will be fine.” Blake tried to reassure me.
“Channing, you go with Dad and I’ll stay with Mom and Evie. This could be a trap to get you away from Mom,” Aspen said and my heart. twisted painfully.

“Nothing is going to happen to me, baby. I’ve been looking into the council and I knew they would come knocking. I can handle this and be back before morning to see our baby girl’s first Christmas,” he mumbled, his cheek against mine.
“I don’t like this and I can’t lose you,” I pleaded with him.
“This is my pack, baby. I’m not going to let them walk in there and threaten my pack members. They did that with Perry behind my back and never will it happen again.” I took a deep breath before nodding. I hated this and my stomach was in knots. He took hold of my cheeks so I would look at him.
“Now, you will stay inside until I return.” He said firmly with no room
to argue.
“I have my boys out patrolling as we speak. And I will join them. shortly,” Walter informed my mate.
“Good. Aspen will stay inside with the girls.”
“Please,” I begged, gripping his forearms.
“I will be back soon.” he kissed my lips before going to get ready to leave. Channing wrapped me in his arms.
“I’ll keep him safe. And congratulations. We will celebrate when we get back.” He kissed my cheek.
“You be safe,” I grabbed his arm before he could move away.
“I will, Mom.”
“Keep them safe,” he hugged his brother while I waited for Blake.
